We're not super-consistent about these, but I think it's worth to
document at least the commmon patterns.

exactly what it's meant for in DRM) (Chris).
- Unconfuse the text for ENODEV (Daniel)
- Move text undert the IOCTL heading (Chris).

I spotted a markup issue, plus adding the descriptions in drm_driver.
Plus a few more links while at it.
I'm still mildly unhappy with the split between fops and ioctls, but I

Also unify/merge with the existing stuff.
I was a bit torn where to put this, but in the end I decided to put
all the ioctl/sysfs/debugfs stuff into drm-uapi.rst. That means we
have a bit a split with the other uapi related stuff used internally,
like drm_file.[hc], but I think overall this makes more sense.
If it's too confusing we can always add more cross-links to make it
more discoverable. But the auto-sprinkling of links kernel-doc already
does seems sufficient.
Also for prettier docs and more cross-links, switch the internal
defines over to an enum, as usual.
v2: Update kerneldoc fro drm_compat_ioctl too (caught by 0day), plus a
bit more drive-by polish.
v3: Fix typo, spotted by xerpi on irc (Sergi).
v4: Add missing space in comment (Neil).

Well, mostly drm_file.h, and clean up all related things:
- I didnt' figure out the difference between preclose and postclose.
The existing explanation in drm-internals.rst didn't convince me,
since it's also really outdated - we clean up pending DRM events in
the core nowadays. I put a FIXME in for the future.
- Another FIXME is to have a macro for default fops.
- Lots of links all around, main areas are to tie the overview in
drm_file.c more into the callbacks in struct drm_device, and the
other is to link render/primary node code to the right sections in
drm-uapi.rst.
- Also moved the open/close stuff to drm_drv.h from drm-internals.rst,
seems like the better place for that information. Since that section
was rather outdated this amounted to full-on rewrite.
A big missing piece here is some overview graph, but I think better to
wait with that one until drm_device and drm_driver are also fully
documented.

Adds files and directories to debugfs for controlling and reading frame
CRCs, per CRTC:
dri/0/crtc-0/crc
dri/0/crtc-0/crc/control
dri/0/crtc-0/crc/data
Drivers can implement the set_crc_source callback() in drm_crtc_funcs to
start and stop generating frame CRCs and can add entries to the output
by calling drm_crtc_add_crc_entry.
v2:
- Lots of good fixes suggested by Thierry.
- Added documentation.
- Changed the debugfs layout.
- Moved to allocate the entries circular queue once when frame
generation gets enabled for the first time.
v3:
- Use the control file just to select the source, and start and stop
capture when the data file is opened and closed, respectively.
- Make variable the number of CRC values per entry, per source.
- Allocate entries queue each time we start capturing as now there
isn't a fixed number of CRC values per entry.
- Store the frame counter in the data file as a 8-digit hex number.
- For sources that cannot provide useful frame numbers, place
XXXXXXXX in the frame field.
v4:
- Build only if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is enabled.
- Use memdup_user_nul.
- Consolidate calculation of the size of an entry in a helper.
- Add 0x prefix to hex numbers in the data file.
- Remove unnecessary snprintf and strlen usage in read callback.
v5:
- Made the crcs array in drm_crtc_crc_entry fixed-size
- Lots of other smaller improvements suggested by Emil Velikov
v7:
- Move definition of drm_debugfs_crtc_crc_add to drm_internal.h
v8:
- Call debugfs_remove_recursive when we fail to create the minor
device
v9:
- Register the debugfs directory for a crtc from
drm_crtc_register_all()
v10:
- Don't let debugfs failures interrupt CRTC registration (Emil
Velikov)
v11:
- Remove extra brace that broke compilation. Sorry!

Everyone knows them, except all the new folks joining from the ARM

entirely surprised when I raise this. Definitely time to document

Last time this was a big discussion was about 6 years ago, when qcom
tried to land a kernel driver without userspace. Dave Airlie made the

We already have a fallback in place to fill out the unique from
dev->unique, which is set to something reasonable in drm_dev_alloc.
Which means we only need to have a special set_busid for pci devices,
to be able to care the backwards compat code for drm 1.1 around, which
libdrm still needs.
While developing and testing this patch things blew up in really
interesting ways, and the code is rather confusing in naming things
between the kernel code, ioctl #defines and libdrm. For the next brave
dragon slayer, document all this madness properly in the userspace
interface section of gpu.tmpl.

While splitting the document up, the headings "shifted" from what pandoc
generated. Use the following order for headings for consistency:
==============
Document title
==============
First
=====
Second
------
Third
~~~~~
Leave the lower level headings as they are; I think those are less
important. Although RST doesn't mandate a specific order ("Rather than
imposing a fixed number and order of section title adornment styles, the
order enforced will be the order as encountered."), having the higher
levels the same overall makes it easier to follow the documents.
[I'm sort of kind of writing the recommendation for docs-next in the
mean time, but this order seems sensible, and is what I'm proposing.]
